Extensive Preparation Work

Incredible Attention To Detail

Clean Jobs Sites

3rd Gen Painting’s talented house painting crews simply expect more from themselves and those around them.

Undoubtedly, they are the main reason that 3rd Gen Painting was rated the #1 Rated House Painter in Western Springs of 2020.

Our Painters Prove Painting Your Home Can Be Fun

We want to let you in on a little secret regarding our home painting crews.

Believe it or not, our painters actually love the work they do and have a blast working together while painting your home.

Why is that important to you?

For one thing, happy painters produce better quality paint jobs and are able to provide friendly customer service each day.

Hence, they treat your home with respect and are always willing to help answer questions or communicate with our crew leads to assist.

Why 3rd Gen’s House Painting System is Better

How do we keep our house painting crews so happy?

To begin, we recruit and hire year-round and never run out of qualified applicants that excel at painting your home at the highest level of quality.

Secondly, our crews are fully-trained and certified professionals who are great people to work with.

Last but not least, we make it a priority to run two or more paint crews on each home painting project if possible.

Why would having more painters on the jobsite improve the quality of work?

I don’t know about you, but I’d get pretty tired after a few hours of running up and down 40-foot ladders in 85-degree weather.

With more painting team members on a job site at once, we are able to cycle our paint crews so that they never get tired.

Happy Painters Equal An Amazing Paint Job!

A tired painter tends to be a sloppy painter that may unconsciously cut corners without even realizing it due to fatigue.

After a difficult task, we actually switch each painter over to an easier task and vice-versa to keep our teams fresh and focused.

As you can imagine, happy Painters equals a happy paint job that lasts twice as long vs a project where corners are cut. That is why we guarantee our painting work for a minimum of 2-5 years (depending on the number of paint coats we apply).

Not to mention, your project takes half the time it would with a typical painter. Shorter project lengths mean more time for you to admire your freshly painted home this summer.

That is why 3rd Gen Painting is different. We are the next generation of home painting contractors. We employ efficient systems & a more motivated workforce to provide incredible paint jobs for our customers.

Our dedicated home painting crews are ready to serve homeowners near Western Springs, Hinsdale, La Grange, Oak Park or Chicago. Let’s get that painting project done right this time around!

How much does it cost to repair dry rot or rotting wood in a house?

Did you Know? All of 3rd Gen’s wood repairs and wood replacement actually performed by our skilled in-house carpenters. This ensures that the newly replaced wood is correctly installed, caulked, primed, and sealed before it is painted.

Believe it or not, having in-house carpenters is quite rare as most painting companies simply subcontract carpentry services out to the lowest bidder.

As you can imagine, this tends to result in poor quality repairs and wood replacement installs which will cost you (big-time) down the line.

1. Home Size Affects Interior Painting Cost

As you can imagine, the size of your home affects the amount of surface space to be painted. As a result, most painters in Chicago use room sqft or linear footage x wall height to determine painting costs for a room.

Subsequently, the more rooms to be painted in a home, the more it will cost.

In addition, larger homes tend to have larger sized rooms and higher walls.

So painting a typical bedroom in an 1800 sqft bungalow in La Grange Park vs a bedroom in a 3400 sqft home in Hinsdale can be like comparing apples to oranges.

On the whole, ceiling height and individual room size tend to have the most impact on the price of your interior painting job.

2. Painting Options Impact Interior Prices

The surfaces you choose to paint for your next interior painting project most certainly has an effect on the cost. Popular interior surfaces that people paint include:

Correspondingly, the number of painting options in each room will affect your budget. For example, you may only want to paint the walls in your living room vs the walls, trim, and ceilings in the bedrooms. As a result, we recommend deciding what will be painted and where before hiring an interior painter.

3. Surface Conditions Affect Interior House Painting Costs

At 3rd Gen Painting, we like to say that 80% of a quality paint job comes down to quality prep work. To point out, interior prep work can be different depending on the surface you are painting.

Painting Walls

With walls, most prep is spent on drywall repairs, patching holes, sanding surfaces, and filling stress cracks near corners. No question, ensuring a smooth surface before painting is paramount in achieving a professional finish. Typically you would use an eggshell paint sheen for ceilings.

Trim Painting

When it comes to interior trim, the majority of prep is spent on sand-scuffing, patching nail holes, caulking gaps for a smooth transition between trim joints. A rule of thumb for interior trim painting is to use a semi-gloss paint sheen. Even though semi-gloss finishes are more expensive, it’s added durability and cleanability greatly outweigh the cost.

Painting Your Ceilings

And lastly, when it comes to ceilings, prep is focused on moving & covering furniture for safe access, patching surface cracks, and priming. As a tip, ceilings are typically painted in a flat paint sheen finish.

Frequently Asked Question

Undeniably, clear and honest communication from start to finish is a key aspect of a quality paint job. As a result, our team compiled a list of some of the most popular interior and exterior questions we get asked on a regular basis.
